Recommendations for Harris & Lewis

Post by Paul Mitchell » Wed Jul 07, 2010 12:25 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I'm hoping to take trip to Harris & Lewis towards the back end of this year and just wondered if anyone has any recommendations for A. accommodation and B. photo locations?

We rented a cottage on Harris a couple of years ago which was very near Scarista - based on a croft, cottages are very well equipped, the owners were extremely nice, and very helpful - http://www.borvemorcottages.co.uk/. You could walk across one of the fields on the croft to one of those wonderful white beaches - during a week in May, we only once saw one other person on the beach.

Re locations, we didn't get to see much of Lewis, but on Harris, the west coast is just stunning. The church at Rodel is well worth a visit. East coast rather like a miniature Scandinavian landscape. Hushinish peninsula well worth a visit. Interior of the island is rather like a lunar landscape, just wish we'd had more time there.

Andrea Ingram is an APUG member who lives in Lewis and has a blog at the link below. There's probably quite a bit of information to be gleaned from reading it and the linked sites, then possibly emailing her nearer the time?

Thanks Peter, in fact Andrea has already been in touch with me via my same request on the FADU forum... have even been invited to pop in for a cuppa!
